I am an ancient Greek lawyer. No, not HIM. I’m just an old Greek lawyer living in Chicago.

In authoritarian regimes, the secret police keep tabs on dissent as part of a campaign of repression.

Whiskey Pete needs to be impeached and removed. He hates the Constitution and has contempt for the rule of law.

I see ads pretty much like this all the time on TV from the GOP candidate for Senator in Illinois. It’s a hilarious waste of money but, hey, spend it.

It’s part of the scheme to criminalize abortion everywhere. The legal basis of the lawsuit harkens back to the fugitive slave laws before the Civil War:

Trump continuously describes life in the U.S. nowadays as a golden age. He’s right — it is for him, his family, and billionaire oligarch backers. They are stealing billions.

In a shadow docket order, the MAGA 6 on the Supreme Court greenlight an astonishingly unconstitutional Trump regime policy deporting aliens to countries other than their own with no hearing. Democrats would be insane to NOT expand the corrupt and broken Supreme Court as soon as they can do so.

To the extent anyone pays attention, the Senate Jack smith hearing today is a stark reminder about Trump’s attempted coup after his defeat in 2020 and the lawless MAGA party scum who supported it.

Bessent added: “Iran’s economy will collapse on the same day Trump’s promised healthcare plan is released.” He noted with a smirk: “the strait of Hormuz is open in the same way I’m secretly buying oil company stocks to leverage this for my personal gain.”

What Did Trump Do With the Billions He Collected From Venezuelan Oil?
Billions in revenue from Venezuelan oil has gone missing—and the Trump administration keeps changing its story.

Isn’t it obvious Congress needs to appropriate the funds to build the arch, the ballroom, or any other building — whether military or not? Why is this not an obvious argument?

This law suit will prevail. One assumes they are seeking immediate relief, and that, too, will win. The question is how hard with the regime’s lawyers oppose this, since even right wing judges will almost certainly rule against them.

As we know, the Trump regime is trying to kill off the international criminal court. Here’s part of the reason, and an illustration why the next president should ship all of the Trump regime criminals involved— including Whiskey Pete and Trump — to face justice in The Hague.

European far-right populist logic: 1) Endorse Trump and back Putin 2) Watch as both start wars that send energy prices soaring, while giving them total support 3) Blame the EU and Ukraine for high energy prices

They aren’t criminals. They aren’t even illegal immigrants. The Trump regime stripped them of their status as immigrants, declared them “illegal,” and kicked them out and shipped them to a concentration camp

In direct violation of the NATO treaty, the Trump regime plans to abandon the alliance to leave them open to Russian aggression.

Trump and his fellow crooks wreck the Kennedy Center, in great part because no one will perform if it has his name. Now they amazingly claim using Trump’s name must occur or it is bankrupt. No sane judge would buy this garbage

Every single Democratic candidate needs to promise to fully fund tearing down Trump’s vandalism, stopping his defacement of currency, and demonetize the dollar coin with his ugly face. Nothing should remain of Trump’s destruction.

The Talarico - Paxton race is a test for Texas. Are they so far gone that a complete scumbag and terrible candidate like Paxton can win purely because he is a Republican against someone who is made out of central casting as an ideal opponent such as Talarico?

While this is obviously encouraging, it angers me how Americans were easily snookered by Trump. We here knew he was a lying traitorous criminal fraud, but tens of millions of incurious, angry, and frankly dumb people still picked him — after he attempted a literal coup after losing in 2020.

A president has zero constitutional and statutory authority over elections. An executive order seizing control over voting by mail is illegal. The USPS cannot refuse to deliver mail. Will the MAGA 6 on the Supreme Court ignore the Constitution and laws to help the Trump regime kill off democracy?

Straight up lying as usual. The Trump regime attacked Iran in February after ripping up a successful nuclear arms control treaty ‘cause President Obama negotiated it. Iran stopped the flow of oil and the Trump regime can’t fix it.
